The
 accident which occurred around 6:15 this morning around St. Johns  Bus 
stop, was  caused by a Conoil tanker carrying diesel. According to eye 
witnesses, the tanker was coming down the hill from Garrison when its 
content suddenly started gushing out, filling up the road,  causing it 
to be slippery. The tanker was on the speed-lane, thus  incoming cars on
 high speed lost control and their brakes failed, as  the road was said 
to be very slippery.
Members of the TIMA RIV and the Rivers state  fire service took control 
of the situation as soon as it happened. About  8 vehicles were involved
 in the accident. Injured motorists were rushed to the hospital, but no 
death was reported.  More photos when you continue...posted by oluwaseun lekan
